Make us all uncomfortable and shave the beard
He needs mental help, no joke.
Is he broke?
Reporters just be saying shit because Harden never responds and never uses agents to. Story of his whole career.
None of these guys have any ties to Harden. Just easy clicks because people want the drama
If Harden still with the Sixers when the season starts
He should refuse to draw fouls or shoot 3s.
What time does their training start today? I want to know when to expect drama
Why are we posting the same stuff so many times?
Yes, give us [MORE](https://media.tenor.com/ESTkzQQMcTEAAAAC/star-wars.gif)
Harden can’t directly threaten to sit out or else he’ll get fined again under the league’s new Dame/Goodwin rule, so he’s issuing threats through the media (like Dame with the reports that he would immediately ask for another trade if sent anywhere but Miami).
Bro
[Twin Peaks giant voice] It’s happening again.
We are going to witness a man who will play like me out there to get out of the team
Lol James Harden is going to show up. And when he starts causing problems, he’s gonna get suspended by the team and will miss out on paychecks until he stops fucking around.
So pumped for this season! 🔥
Not going to lie. This is going to be perfect. This is player empowerment. Team is publicly saying that the only value James Harden has for the Sixers is if he stays and plays on the team. Player says “hold my beer”.
Lose lose lose situation for Jimmy Harden
Sixes run motion offense. Harden inbounds the ball to Maxey. Embiid sets a screen for Harden to go to the oppositr corner. Harden proceeds to go around the pick, over the bench and out the door. He’s off to get a burger.
Maxey is flabbergasted.
Tobias Harris puts his hand up for the ball but nobody cares.
Maxey Jacks up a shot and asks Embiid to rebound the ball for him.
Practice is now very uncomfortable.
At this point the sixers wont even make it to the playoffs even with harden.
Norman Powell and Marcus Morris would never.
So. Ben Simmons this man. If he wants to waste one of the few years that he has left, so be it.
Let’s see what this man has up his sleeve. Players aren’t gonna turn their backs on him at all and Nurse knows Harden makes them a better team so the leash won’t be as short as some think.
This dude is too old at this point to be doing this stuff. This is one of the last good years he is gonna have in his career most likely because of his age.
I dont understand why teams bother messing with this kind of attitude at this point. If he doesnt show up fine him, if he shows up and doesnt wanna play, just put him in the corner and let him waste the rest of his prime if thats what he chooses.
Why we report the same thing everyday? We get it. Morey is a liar. He won’t play for a man who told him he would trade him but didn’t trade him.
Why would any team even trade for him? If he doesn’t want to play with the MVP he’ll probably start problems on any team.
People talk, so bad about Kyrie, but this guy dismantled both nets and now the 76ers
I say this as a big harden fan
All Harden is doing now is hurting his own legacy. It makes him even less appealing to other owners and gms. The same gms, btw, that did NOT offer him big money this past free agency when Harden chose to come back to the 76ers.
Harden is quitting on all of his teammates, all of his coaches, and an entire fan base to stick it to Daryl Morey. Bad look for him.
